The best: Garmin nuLink! 1695LMU

Our best buy from previous tests still sits at the top of the tree. The Garmin nuLink! 1695LMU has a five-inch screen – like the Via 135 – and while the display isn’t as bright, the menus are just as logical to use. The ball and socket mount is easy to secure to your car’s glass, and the device has free lifetime map updates. The Bluetooth hands-free works brilliantly, plus there are European maps and speed camera data, and 12 months’ free live traffic data (after which you pay £44.99 a year) – and all for less than £200. So it’s a clear winner.
